Embrace launches Dear Santa 2018
Embrace CVOC has launched ‘Dear Santa 2018’ – our seasonal fund-raising campaign to bring joy and happiness to children and young people who have suffered trauma as a result of crime.
Last year our Dear Santa pilot delivered presents to more than 270 children plus supermarket vouchers to help families on income build special memories.
We want 2018 to be bigger and better!

We’re delighted to announce that from 12pm on 27th November, your donations to us will be generously doubled for a limited time only. If you’re thinking of making a donation this Christmas, there’s no better time than #GivingTuesday.
CORONAVIRUS – OUR MESSAGE TO YOU
Embrace switches to telephone and online support
As we all join the battle to overcome the coronavirus pandemic, Embrace wishes to reassure all our supporters that we have taken the necessary measures to safeguard everyone involved in delivering our services and our beneficiaries.
Our staff continue to work hard to deliver continued communication to the most vulnerable.
The Embrace team is now working from home and we have ceased all face to face support, switching wherever possible to telephone and online communication.
This means that we will not be carrying out any face to face emotional support or counselling therapies for the foreseeable future.
We will continue to work in support of children and young people harmed by crime – necessarily amending the ways we do that in order to continue our vital services.
We remain, very much, open for business!
supporting children, young people and families
who are victims of crime
We’re solely focused on supporting children, young people and families who are victims of serious crime.
We help them cope with what has happened, support their recovery and provide services that enable them to put events behind them, move on and fulfil their life’s potential.
TEAM EMBRACE ON TOP OF THE WORLD!
After 15 days of high altitude trekking our dedicated team completed the 130km round-trek to the foot of the highest point on earth and at the same time have raised thousands to support children across the county recovering from serious crime.
ONE DONATION, TWICE THE IMPACT!
DONATE to Embrace this Christmas and see your donation double in size!
From 12pm on Tuesday 3rd December your donations to us will be generously doubled for a limited time only.
BUY A GIFT FOR A CHILD VICTIM OF CRIME
Dear Santa is our seasonal appeal to deliver gifts of choice to victims and witnesses of serious crime across the UK, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man.
WHAT WE DO
Embrace works with law enforcement agencies and safeguarding professionals in a variety of ways. We forge meaningful partnerships with organisations to deliver help.
Our range of emotional, practical, specialist and cheer-up support services make a big difference in brightening young people’s lives after the devastating effects of crime.
Whatever is needed to help a child cope with what has happened, recover and move on is what we aim to deliver.
Please see below for more information on the services we offer.
Support where it is needed
Embrace provides four distinct areas of support for children, young people and family members..
Corporate Partnerships
Partner with us and your organisation will help improve the lives, and life prospects, of children affected by serious crime across the UK.
Our corporate partnerships go beyond simple fund-raising to include a wider commitment to building a better society, where childhood trauma is not a bar to future success.
S+G go for gold!
Lawyers Slater+Gordon have become our first gold level corporate partners in a link-up that formalises a working relationship built up over recent years.
Slater+Gordon are well-known for their sponsorship of police family liaison officer work and events across the UK and have been regular attendees at Embrace’s gala dinners.
“We offer a warm welcome to S+G to our exclusive corporate ‘club’ and look forward to developing our working relationship” said chief executive Anne Campbell.
We don’t believe any child needing specialist help should have to go on a waiting list.
We always carry out an initial assessment for counselling referrals and, where appropriate, will match those in need of help with specialist young people and family counsellors.
To make a referral, please complete our online referral form by clicking on the button below.
Alternatively you can contact us by telephone or email. We aim to respond in most cases within 48 hours. Urgent referrals will be prioritised.
We’re looking for 100 businesses from across the UK to form part of our new exclusive corporate network – working with us to mend young lives broken through crime.
Your small commitment will fund therapy for children impacted by serious crime in the UK – empowering their recovery and brightening their life prospects.
In return, you and your employees can enjoy exclusive benefits including:
- Priority tickets to unique Embrace events throughout the year
- Preferential access to bucket-list charity challenges and adventures
- Invitation to attend our annual Embrace 100 drinks reception in London
- Regular newsletter
- Positive brand promotion across our channels and events
